Stadium That Was Symbol Of New Zealand Post-Quake Rebuild To Hold First Match

By AFP News April 23, 2026 • 06:59 AM View: 338

A new $400 million stadium that was a symbol of Christchurch's struggle to rebuild after a deadly earthquake struck the New Zealand city will host its first match Friday in front of a sellout rugby crowd.

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake killed 185 people in February 2011 and toppled or damaged buildings, including the city's old Lancaster Park.
